After 2 years of options trading, I finally figured out why I keep losing

Been trading options for 2 years and tracking everything in a spreadsheet. The problem? It only told me if I won or lost, not *why*.

So I built something that grades my trades on risk/reward, entry timing, exit discipline, IV, and position sizing. The biggest thing I learned: my entries were actually decent, but my risk/reward setups were terrible. I was getting rewarded for good timing and mistaking it for good trading.

Does anyone else track R on their options trades, or just P&L
